Let's hope we can find SOMETHING that works for us @A MyCOPDTeam Member! Good luck to you! Hugs, Chris 6/20/26
@A MyCOPDTeam Member my allergist recommended I use Aquaphor Gentle Wash and Shampoo on my itchy scalp. I haven't used any yet because I am not one to throw out something until it's gone and I still have shampoo to use up. My arms are just all purple and my head itches like crazy. She also told me to wash in cool--not hot-- water. Don't use anything scented and I could go on and on, but maybe something in what I said will help you. Drives me crazy with the itching sometimes. Good luck. Hugs, Chris 6/19/26
I too have had itchy skin more than I used too. Anti-itch lotion helps. I especially have an itchy scalp, thought at first it was dandruff. But after seeing an article on itchy skin with COPD it is from that - was using dandruff shampoo & was still itchy. So now I look for dry scalp products.
Thanks, I've been using Amazon basics soap. Maybe it doesn't moisturize enough.
Chrisp---Thanks--I wrote that down. I am like you as far as not throwing out products--I have tried several different kinds.
